Degression

Can it be done in practice? Got me, but it sure is pretty Newly non-unique elements must move down the

hierarchy as new nonconforming expressions or manifestations are added

What is the context? Can only take place within a given system Communication between systems must be at the

manifestation level, with embedded work/expression data

Elements present in work/expression records will vary depending on the makeup of the component manifestations in each system

Treats editors as creators of works produced under editorial direction [would not affect serials since editors die]

In closing

"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been cataloging. Librarianship has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But cataloging has marked the time. This catalog, these rules, are a part of our past, Ray. They remind us of all that once was good, and that could be again. Oh people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come."

– Seymour Lubetzky (James Earl Jones) in "Catalog ofDreams" (explaining to Ray Kinsella (Kevin

Costner)why people will come to use the card catalog he'sconstructed in the middle of his Iowa corn field)
